My primary reason for wearing glasses is to protect my corneas from damage. I use cycling-specific glasses with interchangeable lenses. Clear for night or pre-dawn riding. Amber for diffuse light/overcast conditions. Dark for direct sun.

Cycling specific doesn't mean production glasses that are "cross-marketed" to bicyclists. It means that the lens position is raised relative to the nose bridge, allowing you to look through the lens while peering under the brow line, as riders do. Also, light weight, wrap around, grippy silicon pad arms and nose pads. Are they "large" or "oversized"? I'd say no.
